Jean-Marie Lefèvre

An engineer by training and a graduate of the INSEAD business school, Jean-Marie Lefèvre began his career in 1983 as a strategy consultant at the Boston Consulting Group in Paris and Chicago. Five years later, he cofounded Spizza 30, then joined the Bongrain group in 1989, where he became general director of Scandinavian Fish Co. and Nutrimer. In 1994, he was named General Director of Pommery champagnes at LVMH and then CEO a year later.

In 2002, Lefèvre took over independent, family-owned laboratory Biocodex, at the request of his two brothers-in-law, to reinvigorate the company. Seeking to position Biocodex as a driver of change and to promote microbiota research and access to knowledge by all, he launched an initiative by Biocodex to establish the Biocodex Microbiota Foundation and the Biocodex Microbiota Institute in 2017.

About Biocodex Microbiota Institute

The Biocodex Microbiota Institute (BMI) offers the first major international platform to house data on human microbiota.

Over recent years, there has been growing interest in and a great deal of research into the role and importance of microbiota in maintaining health. Given its background and expertise, Biocodex has chosen, through BMI, to lay the foundations for a vast network of scientifically rigorous data on microbiota, where patients and health professionals can learn about crucial advances in this field. With the discovery and worldwide marketing of the yeast: Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745, the company has, over 60 years, built a dual reputation as a pioneer and leader in the field of human microbiota.

BMI brings together all current knowledge and constantly collects new data on microbiota. It then shares the information regularly via its communication tools and social media.

As an important player in the health industry, Biocodex is proud to offer, through BMI, a source of information that meets the needs of all.
